I built cvs-1.11 on about 10 UNIX flavors over the weekend, using the
canonical
./configure && make all check install
Most succeeded. However, on Sun Solaris 2.7, the check failed like
this:
% make check
...
/bin/sh ./sanity.sh `pwd`/cvs
This test should produce no other output than this line, and a final "OK".
id: illegal option -- u
Usage: id [user]
id -a [user]
Notice: The default version of id is defective, using
/usr/local/bin/gid instead.
lid: invalid option -- u
Try `lid --help' for more information.
expr: RE error
Test suite does not work correctly when run by a username
containing regular expression meta-characters.
make[1]: *** [check] Error 1
Indeed, compare the behavior of id on various systems:
